The newest .dat-Release (4389) of NAI's McAfee reports Ruuds XNet.exe as a virus:

http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_128080.htm

Run, Ruud, Run!

[edit]
To prevent any panic: I don't think its really a virus. the problem will be that our Users don't know about this..

kasul, as a mcafee customer, you should be the one reporting them to fix their pants.
Xnet has been around for about 10 years pretty much unchanged (last change 2 years ago), it won't be changed because some buggy AV product is stupid.

Hmmm.. Go to the page and there does not seem to be any "real" info about this.

Running 8.0i and doing a scan now to see what is picked up in the log.

I just performed an On-Demand scan of Xnet.exe for 4.02 and 4.22 my McAfee DAT 4389 did not report anything. You must have the check for potentially unwanted programs check as the that is the info on the link rthat is posted.
